Netflix's latest foray into royal entertainment has hit a snag. The second season of 'With Love, Meghan', starring the Duchess of Sussex, failed to make it to the platform's top 1,000 most-watched shows, according to recent data. With only two million views, the eight-episode series ranked 1124th - well below popular programmes like 'Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug & Cat Noir' and even older titles such as 'Downton Abbey'.
Critics had already panned the show upon its release in August, with reviews describing it as "painfully contrived" and "baffling". The recent numbers suggest that public sentiment hasn't improved. It's worth noting that the series was filmed in a rented house in Montecito, California, featuring Meghan cooking, chatting, and crafting with friends including Tan France and Chrissy Teigen.
The show was part of the Sussex couple's reported $100m five-year Netflix deal, which kicked off with their documentary series 'Harry & Meghan'. However, other programmes produced as part of that deal struggled to gain viewers. The first series of 'With Love, Meghan' attracted 5.3 million views, but the festive special also failed to make it to the top 1,000.
Insiders claim that the show won't be returning for a third series, with one source describing it as "a lot of work". Another source suggests that fans will see similar content on Meghan's social media channels for her brand, but in bite-sized chunks. It appears that Netflix has opted not to renew 'With Love, Meghan', a move that may come as little surprise given the show's underwhelming reception.
